Chapter 55: The Leech

In the Five Finger Mountain, at the foot of the third towering peak, a group of people were staying there quietly, making whispering sounds from time to time, figures shaking, and around everyone, there were soldiers with weapons in their hands.

This is a temporary refuge for the people in the Shenzhou Valley, in this deep mountain, not to mention ordinary orcs, even if the jackal god envoy comes, it is impossible to easily discover their existence.

Zhao Meng and Xiao Ming each took 300 'Honglin Guards' to hunt and find food for nearly 2,000 people, while Gao Li led the remaining 400 people to guard everyone.

In it, Qing Yu sat quietly on the ground, her eyes were red, her eyes were a little confused, her haggard color was heavy, and her face was pale and bloodless.

At that moment, she suddenly felt a heart-wrenching pain, so painful that she fell to the ground and whispered softly, she gritted her teeth hard to keep herself from making any sound, but her actions attracted the attention of those sitting beside her.

The three women who had come out of the Hippo Village sat next to her, "What's the matter, Xiao Yu......!?"

Seeing Qingyu lying on the ground, one of them asked with concern;

"There's a brother......!!"

Qing Yu didn't answer her question, but let out a shout into the sky, shouting 'Shijiyou', startling the people around to turn their heads and look at her in surprise.

"What's wrong?"

When Gao Li heard the voice, he came to Qingyu's side in a flash and asked with concern;

"There's a brother......!"

Qing Yu seemed to have passed out, but she still shouted Shi Jiyou's name in her mouth.

Everyone was so sad that they couldn't help but bow their heads, and a few of them wept softly.

####

Several macaques jumped down from the tree, scrambling for the fruit that fell from the tree, and couldn't help but chase after it.

Suddenly, a macaque spotted Shijiyou lying in the midst of the rocks, and couldn't help but walk over curiously, and its discovery immediately attracted all the dozen or so macaques around.

A few male macaques tentatively walked towards Shi Jiyou's side, and touched Shi Jiyou's body with their forelimbs, and then quickly dodged to the side, as if Shi Jiyou, who was lying on the ground, would suddenly burst out and attack them.

After a few temptations, he found that Shi Ji had no movement, so he had the courage to pull his clothes and pick his hair, and after finding that there was nothing special, he lost interest in it, first a few left, and slowly all left, sometimes they would chase Shi Jiyou's side, step on his body and laugh.

Dusk was approaching, the sky was dark, and the macaques were tired of laughing, and they all put away their chasing nature, and returned to the branches, sat cross-legged, leaned on each other, turned over the golden fur on their bodies, looked for lice, and slowly fell asleep.

And on a tree pole not far from them, there is a 'magic leech', a huge arboreal leech, 1.5 meters long, as thick as a water tank, slowly crawling towards the habitat of this group of macaques.

The leech has all its own breath in its breath, and its changeable color body is hidden in the shimmering leaves, blending in with the surrounding colors, and is well hidden.

The macaque's call and the fluctuations in the air during their physical activity, as well as their body temperature, are the basis for the leeches to judge and hunt their prey.

Leeches don't have eyes, they can't see their prey, but they have a keen sense of heat and touch.

Dusk: As the sun sets and the temperature drops suddenly, the leeches are much more accurate at sensing heat than during the day.

The macaque closest to the leech was no more than five meters away, and the leech was still moving at its usual speed, it was not in a hurry, but calmly approached the macaque's body.

Not far from its attack range, the leech's body slowly squirmed, and there was not a trace of energy fluctuations in its body, so that the macaque did not feel the danger coming.

Time passed by a second, and the distance between the two was already in the attack range of the leech;

In the front mouth of the leech, there is a huge suction cup, which can instantly suck its three-meter-square prey into its mouth, and the saliva of the meridian contains highly poisonous and has the ability to erode, once this mucus is sticked, it will quickly penetrate into the body of the prey and paralyze it.

After capturing the prey, it will quickly swallow it as a whole, use its strong body to constantly knead and crush the prey in the belly, and slowly digest it into a pus-like substance, and finally swallow it.

Not to mention a macaque, it is a tiger, lion and other powerful magical beasts, and leeches can also be successfully hunted and swallowed.

The leech's mouth slowly opened, its powerful suction cups already exposed to the air, ready for the final blow.

But at this moment, the macaque, who was sleeping soundly, perhaps sensed something, and turned over in his sleep, poked one foot up, and stretched it out, as if sensing a trace of murderous intent that emanated from the leech after opening its mouth.

In a few moments, the leech's attack reached ......! and it sucked the macaque's foot that had just been raised.

After being attacked, the macaque suddenly woke up, quickly grabbed a tree pole beside him with both hands, and struggled with the leech.

Due to the macaque's extremely fast reaction, the leech did not swallow its prey in the first place, but it did not want to give up just like that, so the two held on to each other.

After being attacked, the macaque screamed loudly, alarming the surrounding crowd of monkeys, and one of them, a burly male macaque, who seemed to be the king of the monkey pack, heard the cry and quickly ran over with several strong macaques.

"Whew......"

A howl came from the mouth of the monkey king, and as soon as the howl fell, several strong macaques behind it also screamed, and at the same time, all the monkeys actually moved together, clenched the monkey fist, and smashed it on the body of the leech, and some went to pull the leech's sucker .......

The battle between the two sides did not last long, and was stopped by the abandonment of the leeches, and the hunt failed.

The monkeys' fists were not so easy to bear, a few heavy punches on the body made it tremble, and a few macaques picked up a few stones from the ground and smashed them into the leeches to rescue the captured macaque.

There was a macaque, after smashing tired, casually threw the stone into the leech's slightly open mouth, just this move, the leech quickly let go of the sucker, and tried his best to fight the rock in the belly.

Seeing that the other party let go of his subordinates, the monkey king also stopped, and after howling, he led the monkeys to disperse in a hurry, fleeing from this place of right and wrong.

After struggling with the stone in its stomach for a while, the leech spat out the stone, and after a moment's pause, it once again sensed the presence of prey nearby.

After a search, it found a source of heat, the prey it was trying to prey.

The leech retracted its aura again and slowly approached its prey.

And the direction in which it is going is the direction in which Shijiyou is lying, and the goal is Shijiyou
